when sending email, check the address before sending

A Minneapolis couple named Jim and Helaine Smith decided to go to Florida to
thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same
hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic
schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the
husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, wand his wife would
join him the following day.
On arrival, the husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his
room, so he decided to send Helaine an email. Her email address was
helaine_smithATpopularisp.com. However, he accidentally left out the 'H'
letter in her Email address and without realizing his error, sent the
E-mail.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston Texas, a recent widow named Elaine Smith had
just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was
called home to glory following a heart attack.
The widow decided to check her Email expecting messages from relatives and
friends. her email address was elaine_smithATpopularisp.com. After reading
the first message, she screamed and fainted to the floor landing in a loud
thump. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor,
and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
